The Class Actions Section of the Ontario Bar Association presented its inaugural Award for Excellence in Class Actions to Professor Jasminka Kalajdzic during its annual colloquium program earlier this month.

The Honourable Edward M. Morgan of the Superior Court of Justice recently approved the settlement of a securities class action lawsuit, and in doing so, approved an award of $90,000 to the Class Action Clinic at Windsor Law in left-over or ‘cy près’ funds.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has rejected a proposed settlement of a class action against the province for former Crown wards claiming compensation for abuse, based partly on representation by the Class Action Clinic at Windsor Law.

In a recent CBC article, Professor Jasminka Kalajdzic commented on a class action against TD Bank by shareholders.

In a Global News article, Professor Jasminka Kalajdzic commented on a new class action against Federal Government by seniors who have been asked to repay CERB.

The Class Action Clinic at Windsor Law has released its second public legal education video, illustrating the basic elements of a class action settlement claims process. When all members of the group or class cannot be identified directly, a claims process is necessary to divide the money paid by the defendant.
